Anyone purchase, install and use a cable shift for the 914 transaxle from these guys?

I have this on my car, mated to a Rennshift shifter. It kicks ass, and is very precise (for a 914 shifter - its still a rod going 1/2 the length of the car). It's a bitch to get adjusted perfectly, partly due to the fact that the setup is stiff at first. But once set up, there is no stirring the bucket when shifting the car. Mine is still in break-in, but after about 50 miles, its just getting better and better. Don't bother with a cable shift setup on a near-stock configuration. |

Mine is still in break-in, but after about 50 miles, its just getting better and better. Don't bother with a cable shift setup on a near-stock configuration. My set up is about as far away from stock as it gets. Sbc, Dr. Evil 914 trans axle (btw, a 901 trans axle is aluminum and used in the 911's) with 1st blocked, 2nd 3rd flipped and an H gear. Your comments, "It's still a rod going 1/2 the length of the car", makes me think that while Chris's set up is probably great, I'd most likely need a Rennshift to compliment it so all said and done, about a grand for both and still on a rod 1/2 the length of the car. It looks like I'm too be the sacrificial lamb for Cable-Shifts set up as I've yet to find anyone anywhere who's given it a try/review. At seven bills total it may be viable and an improvement over rowing through oatmeal . As an aside, I could care less that I'm going to be adding a hole in the firewall as the car is already so heavily modified that one more non-stock item isn't something that remotely concerns me. Not clear on why the poster above said the design was bad as it looks ok to me.... Maybe I'm not seeing something he saw? See images. |
